Hi people... one question:
The 6 months that we have to wait to obtain the right of the OCWP is 6 months in a row or 6 studied months?

At CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus-who.asp) said:

  • have been a full-time student for at least six of the 12 months preceding the date of your work permit application

Are we considered full-time student the whole time (including vacations) or only when we are studying? Are there anyone who got OCWP after 6 months in a row?

Thanks a lot.

Guys, I've heard this rule has been changed now and now a student can work right from the first day itself, unlike waiting for 6 months. Is it true? My educational consultants (Two from different parts of the city) have told me this latest development.
